(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) is my only description of the wheel hub I bought off a Momo dealer on ebay.
Following issues; 914 VDM horn contact ring won't fit correctly, hub spline is too thick,hub nut not fully on column shaft thread, hub earths on steering column,without spacer on shaft. Contacted the seller and he claims to have stated the stock horn contact ring may not fit in his auction,nothing to that effect,checked it,its so far out the cancel piece is a long way out from being centre on the RH side. No where on the box is "made in Italy",the instructions say so but these could be easily copied,really thinking its a Chinese "knock off",anyone had this issue. Vent over ok...anyone else had this issue. TIA |

I recently bought an NRG shift knob. Their official site call out a number of known bad actor ebay sellers that counterfeit.
Sad that these dickwads are out there but we all have to be careful. |

Thanks mate ,I think that's what I have,the return email was less that happy from the seller...like he had been caught out,too late to lodge a complaint on the auction as the pic I used was only a test fit and I put my stock wheel back on,live and learn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . My original wheel removed to give my long legs some room with the smaller aftermarket wheel ; Its just not hard to see its poorly made,atleast without adding spacer I had the horn sounding without contact ring until the fuse was pulled ....says it all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Arne this is adaptor #8002 and as far I know the only one offer for later 914's. |
